Wow, The Passion got nominated for Cinematography and Original Score!!
That's awesome.
The rest of the nominees are good. Alan Alda was a surprise. Happy to see Imelda Staunton, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen, and Cate Blanchett getting noms.

I think Freeman and Swank's chances are boosted 100% by the fact that Million Dollar Baby did SO WELL in the top categories.
I mean, Million did FANTASTIC.

The more I look at the technical nominees, the more random I feel they are. Phantom is nominated in 3 categories, but not costume. Everything is in the wrong category.

I'm calling Morgan to win Best Supporting Actor. It will be a passing of the torch sort of speak. Morgan, whose career goes back to working on soaps before any of us were born. Then Jamie will win, a new school black actor.

Even to some extent, The Aviator suffers from that too (Make up, Sound Editing, Visual Effects?).
I just think people are very meh about almost all the movies this year, as contrasted to last year where the techs were falling over themselves to prop up ROTK, Master and Commander and Pirates.

I think Million will win S. Actor, Actress and has a great shot at Best Picture still. Perhaps the only movie with a shot other than The Aviator.
IMO, It's hurting Annette Benning that her role is turning out to be looked at as "being nominated because she is owed one even though Swank is really the one who deserves it".

Okay, the biggest chaos is over, I'm going to edit the noms in the first post, so they lok more properly
And I owe an apology to andaroo for being so persistant about Hotel Rwanda. I was wrong, the less deserving Ray was, indeed, nominted over HR.  _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Weak catergory for Best Animated film. Suprising that The Polar Express was not even nominated, yet Shark Tale was. Obviously a lock for The Incredibles (I don't see it going to the sequel of a film that already won an Oscar)

Here's another bold prediction: With everyone concentrating on the re-match between Bening and Swank in best actress, I see Imelda Staunton walk away with the trophy!
